The guest arrived by various untrancès up till ten o'clock, and passed up the Grand Stair-case to the State Floor and. Ballroom. The members of the Royal family not in residence at the Palace arrived by the garden entrance, and were conducted to the White Drawing room, where, at ten o'clock, a procession."A. Parsons & Co., Ltd.... Turbines, Condensers was formed for the journey thenco through the range of State apartments

o the Ball-room.

The King escorted Queen Elisabeth, and King Albert conducted Queen Mary. The Kings wore uniform, and both Queens were charmingly dressed.

When their Majesties and party, es corted by State and household officials, reached the throne dais, they found the gecerai body of guests waiting beyond a space reserved for the Royal, quad- rille, with which, in accordance with andient custom, the ball was opened. When this had ended and the particip ants had retired to the dais, the cordon which had kept a space reserved for them was removed and the floor space given up entirely to the dancers. The members of the Royal family did not remain as mere spectators after the opening' quad- rille, but freq ently joined in the danc ing. At a selected time the Royal pro- cession was re-formed and an adjou- ment was made to the ball supper-room, where about one hundred of the disting nished British and foreign guests were invited to join the Royal party at supper. A procession back to the ball-room followed the Royal supper, and yet an other when the dancing ended in the early hours of the morning,

The presence of Yeomen of the Guard and Gentlemen-at-Arma added a media- val touch to the scene. The band of the Royal Artillery supplied the instrumental music.

A BRILLIANT DISPLAY. Special interest attached to the State ball as being the first held since the war. The last occasion was on July 16th, 1914. The ball acquired colour. from the fact that the Guards', officers, field officers, and staff officers were in fall-dress uniforms. Ladies, remember. ing this, chose black, white, grey, and delicate colours for their dresses, avoid- ing bright shades of rose or red, so that the general effect should not be marred by discords in tone. The entrée of the Royal procession to the raised dais in the ball-room was an event that guests desired to witness at quarters as close as they could. Preceded by the great Officers of State; the King escorted Queen Elizabeth, who was wearing robe of yellow silk made, in mediaval Length hine embroidered with gold and trimmed with gold lace, the design in which was outlined in diamonds. Het Majesty wore diamond and pearl ornaments and several decorations. Her Majesty was immediately followed by King Albert escarting Queen Mary, whose dress was of a soft deep blue," with a tone of violet in it, like the heart of a fine sapphire. It was of soft- est satin, brocaded in a most effective design with gold. The bodice wan "finished with gold embroidery on tisse' and with fine gold ince. The blue of the ribbon of the Garter worn across corded with i harmoniously. Her Majesty also had a high crown of diamonds, the design being of an alternate Beurs-de-lys and cross of St. George, and the neck and corsage jewels included the Stars of Africa and the Koh-i-noor, also some fine-diamonded surrounded sapphires. A large Court circle followed, including the Duke of York, Princess Mary, and Prince Heary. Her Royal Highness was all in white, a charming girlish gown of white chiffon draped in lang. points and having pretty embroidery an seed pearls and silver. Princess Mary wore a band of diamonds in her hair, one or two small diamond brooches in her corsage, and a single row of pearls, round her neck. Princess Helena Vic- toria was in a soft and lustrous grey satin" gown veiled with a long tabard of beautiful platinum lace. Her High Dess wore a diadem of diamonds and pearl and diamond ornaments. The purple red-lined ribbon of the G.B.E was worn across the bodice and the badge on it. Lady Patricia Ramsay's charming ball gown was of blush rose pink charmeuse, which was veiled with fino net closely sewn over with mother- o'-pearl beads and tiny sequins. Very beautiful ainmond and pearl ornaments wore worn.' ".
